Bobby worked in sales and known as an effective fence. If ever Chuck and BoBo hit a good lick and needed to move their stolen booty out of sight of everyone they knew that they could get in touch with Bobby to make the such things happen as well as get the very top dollar price such items might merit.

A trustworthy individual who acts as a middle man between a seller and a network of buyers in black market exchanges, especially those relating to illegal goods. Usually helps facilitate the sale process and is in place to keep the seller (and, consequently, posesser) of the illegal goods from getting set up or screwed over.

Origins: The idea that the fence around the yard keeps the neighbors and cops from looking in and seeing what people are doing.
Fence (on phone to dealer) ~ Yo I got these people who are gonna want a cut, I'll be over in an hour

Fence ~ okay (calls buyer) I've got your shit, meet me at the Plaza in two hours with $40

Fencing is the actions of the go between for a thief and buyer of the thief's stolen goods. The buyer may unwittingly buy stolen goods from a fence in yard sales, flea markets, through classified ads, or other traditional markets. A shrewed form of fencing is when the fencer poses as a fence for stolen goods and sells cheap illegal imitations of name brand goods at high prices under the pretence that they are more expensive legit versions.
Pawn shops are no longer very good for fencing since the persons selling to them are finger printed, and there is strict accounting of all the goods sold.
